I have sought the Hidden Beauty in all things

Hidden Beauty

I have sought the Hidden Beauty in all things,

In love, and courage, and a high heart, and a hero’s grave,

In the hope of a dreaming soul, and a seagull’s wings,

In twilight over the sea, and a broken Atlantic wave,

I have sought the Hidden Beauty in all things.

I have found the Hidden Beauty where the river finds the sea.

Or the dark cloud finds the rainbow, or the desert finds the rain,

Where the night sails out on the dawn Wind and the darkness ceases to be,

Or the Spirit builds a rainbow from whirling rings of pain,

I have found the Hidden Beauty where the river finds the sea.
